YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, 2018
.
The sun sets quite early in Yosemite valley behind the mountains and very spectacular as well. I’ve heard a lot about Indian summer - but I’ve never expected it to be that colorful 🍁 🍂 🍃

Golden, crisp leaves falling softly from almost bare trees,
Lifting and falling in a hushed gentle breeze.
Slowly dropping to the soft cushioned ground,
Whispering and rustling a soothing sound.
Coppers, golds, and rusted tones,
Mother Nature's way of letting go.
They fall and gather one by one,
Autumn is here, summer has gone.
Crunching as I walk through their warm, fiery glow,
Nature's carpet rich and pure that again shall grow.
To protect and shield its majestic tree,
Standing tall and strong for the world to see.
They rise and fall in the cool, crisp air.
It's a time of change in this world we share,
Nature's importance reflecting our own lives,
Letting go of our fears and again, too, we shall thrive. - Edel T. Copeland

@kovbones_thugs.n.harmony and I met this climber @andrew_leich on the side of the road in Yosemite on November 1st. His stoke for being in the valley was contagious and it was fun watching him cruise up Butterballs 5.11c at the Cookie Cliff. Classic climb and great post Halloween fun!

Bridalveil Falls.
There are many vantage points to view this beautiful waterfall. I took this picture from tunnel view. They call it Bridalveil Falls because the wind often sweeps it and it looks like a bridal veil flowing in the wind 💨

Every year, my little sister and I go on an annual trip together. Since Yosemite had been a dream destination of mine for so long, we chose it for our first annual trip a few years back. We’re getting ready to go on our 4th trip together to Europe for a few days!

I’ve compiled a list of 10 highlights spots I’ve visited in 2018. So grateful to be fortunate enough to visit even half of these destinations. If anyone wants any tips of on how to afford a trip like ours, to do’s and not to do’s or even just give some love, leave a comment down below and I’ll try my best to help!

This view and this tunnel are some of my favorite things about Yosemite! Did you know if you walk in the tunnel a bit there’s a side tunnel that spits out on the side of tunnel view? Also, the amount of “tunnels” in that last sentence felt odd to me. #tunnelview#yosemite#yosemitevalley

Look up! For most of us, the world comprises 8 to 10 feet of vertical space between floor and ceiling. But here in Yosemite Valley, icicles are hanging 4,800 feet in the air from the face of Half Dome. How does our experience change when we can see and explore in the vertical?
